The VFA Live Online Master Class is available to anyone with a broadband internet connection and a web cam. You don't need any special equipment for your initial sessions. When the time comes to set up your home studio and start prepping for your demo, you will be given a detailed list of the equipment we recommend. (Gold membership includes home studio equipment) Once you have your equipment, we'll guide you through setting it up and we'll make sure you have professional sound quality through our Home Studio Assessment.

We discuss all the elements that go into setting up your own home studio... the right way in all of our Master Classes. We explain what you need and how to put it all together. You will be given a detailed list of the equipment we recommend and an explanation of why we recommend it. Through VFA, you will also receive great deals on all of this gear and anything else you may need.
Our equipment list includes:

• USB Audio Interface; Pro Tools (free download)
• Large diaphram cardioid condenser microphone by ADK
• Closed-back Headphones by Audio Technica or comparable
• Telescopic boom mic stand
• Script stand
• Pop filter
• Cables

In each session you will spend 60 concentrated minutes in a video chat, typically using Skype, although other video chat options are available.

Our Master Class includes our in-depth Master Class Workbooks, almost 500 pages in all. You will also have access to our growing list of online resources and, of course, we are always available by email or phone to help you in any way we can.

Your training sessions will be at a date and time that is mutually agreed upon by you and your instructor and can vary week to week depending on your or your instructor's schedule.

You will work with your coach directing you, in your home studio, to make your Commercial and Narration Demos. When you compare the voiceover industry of today with how things were 20 years ago you can see there have been some drastic changes. These changes benefit the beginning voiceover actor as well as the established, veteran voice talent by bringing professional-level technology into the home studio.

Today 95% of all voiceovers are created, recorded and produced from the voice actor’s home studio.

Lifetime support means that our graduates will always have us as a resource to turn to for voiceover-related questions. Whether it's evaluating marketing materials, reviewing auditions or reconfirming professional sound quality in your home studio - we're here for you. You will always have access to our most current workbooks and resources as well.

We want our students to feel free to call or write us whenever a VO-related issue arises; whether it's seeking assistance on how to pronounce Potawatamie or sharing with us news about that first gig. You are welcome to write any of the staff directly or send your inquires to [email protected].

All of the Master Class instructors at Voices For All are qualified to teach this course, yet each brings their personal and professional perspective to the craft. We will try to accommodate each student’s request for a specific instructor but may not be able to assign a specific request due to scheduling conflicts.

We don't ask you to sign a contract. Your accepted payment plan will be considered an agreement for your Master Class. You will be emailed your itinerary, payment plan schedule, and receipts for processed payments.
Your Live Online Master Class is personally tailored to you. This includes Industry, Business, Technique, Marketing, Etiquette, and Home Studio content, and of course hundreds of Resources as well as on-going Home Studio and Creative Support. The Live Online Master Class is taught by our Master Class Coaches who are also successful Professional Voice Actors currently working in the VO industry every day. At the end of each session you will be given a little “homework” for the week to prepare for your next session.  This will mainly entail practicing certain exercises and activities to grow your performance ability, home studio and marketing tasks, as well as reviewing our in-depth Master Class Workbook.  You get to work at your own pace, practice, and evolve from session to session until you are ready to make your first demo!
